Programming outputs on a Vista panel for Total Connect email notifications

The steps that follow will guide you through enabling the panel to communicate to the AlarmNet device for 4204 Sourced Multimode, and commonly used output programming scenarios. Programming outputs is a multi-step process, first the output must be mapped to the address of the module it resides on. Next, you must program an output function to activate the device; and finally, an output function must be programmed to deactivate the device. We will show these steps as done from the keypad and Compass.

Map Outputs

When using the AlarmNet device on a Vista-10P or FA130CP, only four event messages are available. All other Plus series panels in this family of products can trigger up to eight messages, as these panels will support more than one 4204 relay module.

Enter panel programming using, “Installer Code 800”.

Press, “*79” to access “Device Mapping”.

At the “Enter Output No.” prompt, you will enter “01” followed by star (*), or the next output you are mapping (01 to 08).

Enter Output No.00 = Quit xx

The “Output Type” prompt will appear next; press “1” for “Relay”, followed by star (*).

XX Output TypeDelete 0

Next you will need to assign the address where the output will be found. For the outputs 01 to 04, you will need to enter “12” followed by star (*). For outputs 05 to 08, you will need to enter “13” followed by star (*).

XX Module Addr07-15 yy

After assigning the address, you will need to assign the relay position, at the “Rel Position” prompt. The position for outputs 1 to 4 will match the output number. For outputs 5 to 8, you will need to enter 1 to 4 again, since these are found on a different address. To do this press “1 to 4” followed by star (*).

XX Rel Position1-4 zz

At this point you will need to repeat the procedure until all outputs are mapped. Remember, the Vista-10P and FA130CP will only support four outputs.

Output Function Programming Overview

The following section will guide you through entering Output Function Programming, and each screen that will be shown while programming outputs to activate and deactivate, when activating by Zone Type function. To activate by zone number or zone list, these screens will be shown later in the scenarios section.

Enter panel programming using, "Installer Code 800".

Press, "*80" to enter "Output Function Program".

To program an output, enter the two digit output function number, followed by star (*). This device or output number will be displayed in the upper left corner throughout the output function programming sequence.

Output Funct. #(00 = Quit) 01

The first screen you will see, after selecting the output function, is the summary screen. This screen is shown at the beginning and end of each output function. To advance through any screen in Output Function Programming, press the star (*) key; these screens are shown below.

01 A E P Trig?00 0 0 - ZL=00

?00 = Device Type and Output Number

A = Action

E = Event

P = Partition Number

Trig – Trigger Type

ZL = Zone List

ZT = Zone Type / Operation

ZN = Zone Number

After advancing past the summary screen you are ready to review and change the values of the output function selected. Below each screen will be shown and described, but will not be shown within the steps for each scenario.

The Output Action determines what will be controlling this output function. Your choices are 1-Zone List, 2-Zone Type, or 3-Zone Number. For most of our scenarios, we will use 2-Zone Type.

01 Activated By:Zone Type

Zone Type is the most common way to activate an output and trigger a message. The title “Zone Type” actually means Zone Type or System Operation. There are over 40 different options that can be used at this entry. When the Zone Type entered is faulted or the condition exists, the output will react.

01 Enter Zn Type xx

The entry of a partition number here will allow only the selected zone type to activate the output if it is assigned to that partition. Entry of zero will allow the selected zone type on any partition to affect the output.

01 PartitionAny Partition 0

The Output Action determines how the output assigned will react when the conditions of the function are met. Available options are: 0-Off; 1-Close for 2 Sec; 2-Stay Closed; 3-Pulse On/Off; 4-Change Device State; 5-Close for Duration 1; and 6-Close for Duration 2. For our scenarios, we will be using 2-Stay Closed and 1-Off for most of our examples.

01 Output ActionStay Closed 2

The Output Number is the actual Output that we are assigning to this output function program. This output must have been previously mapped to an ECP address in Device Mapping, i.e. 01-08

Enter Output No.R01 01
